Aliens and UFO’s: Fact or Myth?
Many in this world today hold to the position that UFO’s and extraterrestrial life are an established fact. They base this claims on thousands of alleged sightings and encounters with these beings. They have many other arguments that they will use to disprove those who say that such things are little more than nonsense. They believe that there could not possibly be so many eye witnesses of something that is not legitimate. It is a common belief among supporters of Darwin’s evolutionism that these beings simply evolved somewhere out in space. In response to this, Creation Ministries International has formed several arguments based on God’s Word that easily disprove the cry of thousands: “I saw a UFO!” There are even some Christians today that will tell you that aliens and UFO’s are an established fact. They use as a basis for this claim Genesis 6:4 (The Holy Bible, KJV):
“There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.”

These sons of God, or nephilim in the original Hebrew, are understood to be extraterrestrial beings by those who would twist scripture to their own devices. They say that this is biblical proof that there are aliens. This, of course, is not at all true. These “sons of God” are quite clearly some of God’s chosen people that had fallen away, perhaps fallen angels. Christian scholars believe that these nephilim were referred to as fallen angels or ET beings by the spies in the land of Canaan to keep Israel from entering. (Gitt, Dr. Werner, 3)
In response to those that believe that other life must have evolved som...

    ... For, even if one would see an alien or even just a spacecraft, it would not have enough credence to prove beyond another person’s quizzical denial. Hence, bringing me back to my original issue, if someone really did see this phenomena where are these other people? I believe we will never know the answer regarding extraterrestrials until there is a national revelation of some sort. Once again, the skeptics are left waiting for an answer.

  • The Potential of the Raëlian Movement through Humanism

    On December 13, 1973, a French man named Claude Vorilhon claimed that he encountered an extraterrestrial being. The alien, called Yahweh, explained that he was a representative of an advanced race of beings, the Elohim, who created humankind is their image via cloning techniques. As an experiment, humanity failed to achieve equilibrium within itself and the world it lived in. Throughout history, the Elohim sent prophets to Earth to guide people’s way of life based on that of the superior race. A primary reason that people failed to achieve that peace is that the prophets, “whose teachings, actually scientific and not religiously oriented, had been misunderstood.” (Laderman 248) Religions thus misinterpreted the Elohim’s teachings, and their different understandings of them separated humanity.

Dr. Edwin Conklin, Professor of Biology at Princeton University, said “The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the unabridged dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop” (Donyes np).

  • The Human Genome as Evidence of Life on Other Planets

    1221 Words  | 3 Pages

    Since the beginning of human fascination with outer space, the question “Is there life on other planets?” has existed and has waited to be answered. Early astronomers looking to find life on other planets were brutally punished by the Catholic Church. For years, people saw these astronomers as heretics for going against the church and undesirable, but today there might be evidence that supports these astronomers. Today, we find that people are still split between believing in alien life or not. People devoted to a religion tend to disagree with the possibility of life anywhere but Earth as it goes against their beliefs. However, with the increase of realistic movies about aliens and very convincing theories, many young people are beginning to believe that life on other planets does not seem so radical after all. Each day, scientists find more and more predictive evidence that leads most of them to believe that there is life on other planets.

  • Argumentative Essay On Creation Vs Evolution

    1086 Words  | 3 Pages

    “The greatest mystery of existence is existence itself” (Chopra). Chopra, a world-renowned author, perceives the existence of life as a truly mystifying cerebration. The pending question that many scientist, and even theists, attempt to answer is how life ultimately began. Currently, the mystery is left with two propositions, evolution and creation. While both approaches attempt to answer the origins of life, evolution and creation are two contrasting concepts. Evolution views life to be a process by which organisms diversified from earlier forms whereas creation illustrates that life was created by a supernatural being. Creation and evolution both agree on the existence of microevolution and the resemblance of apes and humans but vary in terms of interpreting the origins of the life through a historical standpoint. A concept known as Faith Vs Fact comprehensively summarizes the tone of this debate, which leads the question of how life began.
